WTF is wrong with these idiots? Seriously?
I know this will have our resident Republicans dancing, but I can't help but wonder. How can they criticize the POTUS when they won't support anything he does?

"Things never looked good for President Obama's request for military authorization to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The White House didn't even send the legislation to Congress until February, six months after it started bombing ISIS targets in Iraq. Then another three months passed while other priorities, including legislation giving Congress the power to review the Iran nuclear deal and a bill to fast-track a pending trade deal took precedent.
But what may have been the nail in the coffin was a request from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Tuesday that the president tear up the current authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) and try again.
"The president's request for an authorization of the use of military force calls for less authority than he has today. I just think, given the fight that we're in, it's irresponsible. This is why the president, frankly, should withdraw the authorization of use of military force and start over," Boehner told reporters."
